In plain English — DuckDuckGo

DuckDuckGo genuinely doesn't build a profile of your searches or browsing — the policy is short because the collection is genuinely minimal — but it's a US company, ad clicks are routed through Microsoft's network, and optional features like Email Protection require you to hand over personal data under a separate policy.

In plain English — Tresorit

Tresorit is an encrypted cloud storage service based in Switzerland that genuinely cannot access your files; it holds ISO 27001 certification, stores data primarily in the EEA, and gives 30 days' notice of material policy changes — but it records and transcribes sales calls with AI bots, uses Facebook and Google for ad targeting, collects app usage analytics, and business-plan admins can access employees' encrypted files via a recovery master key.
